Abstract
This paper is the continuation of a previous research endeavor into issues of academic honesty and intellectual property in Saudi Arabia’s education system. While the previous work articulated the current landscape of intellectual property and academic honesty in the country, this paper presents an innovative new framework for addressing current issues using collaboration at the instructor, administrator, and government levels. This initiative, called the Transparency Project, serves as the author’s recommendation to mediate issues of academic dishonesty and to improve the overall quality and authenticity of Saudi scholarly discourse.
